The usa national team losing 5-2 to an fc dallas under 15 side basically tells you all you need to know. Absolutely absurd situation.

TDYER63 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 We are doing ok at the moment , they have improved as this half has gone on. It’s a bit mental , and more entertaining than the champions league match on the other side . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 This could have been the Men's team up to quite recently. Martha Thomas gets into the box but has no options. She does well to keep a hold of the ball and it eventually ends up at on the other wing with Lana Clelland, but her cross is cut out.

Thought we did well at times, certainly not the hammering I feared. We just lack that composure at key moments that the Spaniards seemed to have in spades.

ThistleWhistle Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Biology obviously comes in to it but quite a few of them can't half shift across the pitch altough they don't quite have the stamina of the blokes. Technically though, particularly the Spanish plus Weir, they're improving all the time - the lass who scored for Spain was quality but there was also someone in midfield who basically controlled the show playing 2 touch then moving into space. Could see the Real / Barca influence a mile off. Enjoyed it last night and was good for my wee lass to see the girls play now she's getting into it. Some of the criticism for the SFA may be justified but at the end of the day they have to knock out decent performances to put bums on seats - hopefully the 8-0 in Spain was a boot up the arse as they seem to have been in some sort of a sulk since the fall out from the WC as last night is probably the best they've played in 2 years. It's easy for me to say but they maybe need a bit of perspective instead of looking at 90,000 for a Champions League game remember not long ago they would have been lucky to get near 8,000 collectively across a campaign. It'll take time for the ramp up of girls at grass roots level to transfer into bums on seats so patience will be necessary.
